re: Everyone's been wanting Mizzou to fall on its face

ehole can't tie his own shoes but blames a 20 y/o first-year player. Blamers are losers, mr. ehole. Gabbert holds the record "Youngest QB in NFL history to start at least 13 games." He was thrown to the wolves. He didn't beat a woman or drug-up J-ville. He played in a darn tough environment where pros try to tear your head off everyday. You would have cried and gone home before the first game. ehole, you are what's wrong with any sport...the Monday morning QB. San Fran is paying him millions while you ride a trash truck.

EVERYBODY knows J-ville is a cr*p organization. Since then, history has shown that they needed a lot more than a QB. Gabbert would have been fine on a better team and not starting on day-one. A first year NFL starter thrown to the fire, no O-line support, no run game and a lame-duck coach. A formula for failure, especially in the NFL. It's a team sport, last I heard.

ehole, you can hate anybody but Bama all you want. But don't pick on one player who's doing his best. He did a darn good job at Ol' Mizzou.

it's prudy simple and it's not gonna happen in July. Mizzou is king of the East until someone else wins it. Mizzou is not elite, but we compete. Until then, shove it. Bama is king of the whole SEC until someone beats 'em. Strap 'em on boys.

His numbers in the second half last year are eerily similar to his 2013 numbers.

How so?

1. Starting DE kicked off team for uncited legal reasons - Would not start as soon as the JUCO gets here. Does hurt our depth. Also, I don't think it's legal issues. Attitude more like it. Tweeted about leaving mid-season last year. Apparently GP should have benched Ray or Golden in favor of him last year.

2. Starting/preseason All-SEC DT out for season due to car crash - Biggest loss for the team and absolutely hurts. No way around it.

3. Starting FS out indefinitely with injury - Maybe I'm out of the loop but who? Ross? He's never been a starter though he's good (and might be back).

4. 3 of top 5 RB's out, two indefinitely to injury, one due to academics. Down to the #1 guy, the #3-4 guy, then walkons - Some concern here, especially if the Abbington doesn't make it. Could either be an area of depth or weakness. Hansbrough will get the majority of carries so it's really only a question of who will back him up. A guy who was good enough to do it last year or 2 guys who may be even better than him.

5. Only return 1 WR with more than 3 career catches (he has 5), and he's out indefinitely with injury. - Huge concern again. Though you're wrong as far as I know about the injury. Lots of young, unproven WR's.

6. Maty Mauk is the starting QB - As Jimmy Edmonds would say "All he does is win."

What I mean is, missouri thinks they are an elite SEC team simply based on the fact they've won the east twice.

I don't think there's a single person who seriously puts MU as an ELITE team. But guess what? Neither is UGA. As far as winning the SECCG? Sure. We'd love to win one. But that's just another one of those moving targets set by insecure fans out there. Once we win that, it will be something else. In the mean time, yepp, gonna enjoy the fact that we've won the east 2 years in a row because I'd rather win the east than lose it.

I don't think that was so outlandish. aTm is more of a "football school".

---

Not outlandish if you are talking about historical accomplishments. But obviously, the last decade was discarded. A&M is solid without doubt, but to suggest in the last decade they were heads and tails better shows ignorance.

you use that as a crutch, yet blame uga for doing the same thing just one year later.

---

I personally don't use it as a crutch. I think we were overwhelmed and intimidated the first year. Frankly, we should have won the UGA game but the players and coaches shite the bed at the end. I think that set the tone for the whole season. And if you want to join in the mindless mantra that you trounced us, go ahead. The final score was ugly but UGA was on the ropes up into the 4th quarter and not moving the ball when MU players/coaches choked and allowed 17 points on a total of like 10 yards gained.

Yall got run out of the building by the best in the west.

And now I see you are just trolling. Beat? Yes. Run out of the building? Hardly. Well, you do have a point that we couldn't stop the run, but that game was back and forth nearly to the end.

quote:

---

It is overinflated. Yall act like you're kings of the east and you simply aren't. There isn't near enough sample size to truly say what "your place" is yet to be honest.

---

I don't even know what this means. The "place" is the best team in the east for the last two years and until someone else wins it. Anything beyond that is just fandom talking on either side.

But you have to realize UT is in a HISTORICALLY bad rut right now, and UF just got a brand new coaching staff. If you can't see that you've been pretty fortunate so far I don't know waht to tell you.

Wait. Are we allowed to use excuses or not?

He's talking about Browning who was never going to start anyway.

I'm just saying that you've been fairly fortunate to win the east the 2 years that you have, that's all.

I couldn't agree more. Mizzou has been very lucky. I believe most rational Mizzou fans are excited just to be competitive.

quote:

What I mean is, missouri thinks they are an elite SEC team simply based on the fact they've won the east twice. UGA won the east in '11, but any UGA fan with common sense will tell you we really weren't a very good team and capitalized on a bad east. Missouri acts like you HAVE ARRIVED, when you really haven't.

---

Exaggerate much??

No Mizzou fan thinks we're elite or have arrived, but by the same token it hasn't been pure luck either.

Pinkel and his staff have done a helluva job establishing a system and coaching up players others overlooked. And he's also done it the right way - disciplining players in spite of the consequences (see Sheldon Richardson in 2012 which cost us a bowl game and Dorial Green-Beckham in 2014 which may have cost us a legitimate shot at the SEC title).

What's pathetic is Georgia has allowed Missouri to win the 2 out of 3 East titles by repeatedly shitting the bed.

When did the memo come out?

He's talking about Browning who was never going to start anyway.

Thanks. Didn't even know he was hurt, that's how far off the radar he was for me. He might have played but he would not have seen a majority of the snaps.

Don't think this is accurate.

Mizzou was winning until there was :51 seconds left in the 3rd and UGA went up 4.

To start the 4th, we ran the fake punt on 4th and 11 when our longest run of the day was like 3 or 4 yards. Y'all got the ball in our end, went 15 yards and FG.

MU Punt
UGA Punt (Neither team moved the ball)

MU throws INT and UGA gets it at the 1 and scores. Up 14.

MU fumbles and UGA gets it at the 5 and scores. Up 21.

So UGA scored 24 points in the last quarter plus :51 seconds. And no, neither team was moving the ball much before that. Y'all definitely deserved the win, but MU was very much in that game until GP went dumb arse on the fake punt. And Jarvis Jones went mad man, to give him his dues.
